Juneau--Alaska's Capital City

Groninger · #1 Posted **Sep 16, 2013, 8:34 AM**

It's been years (easily) since I've posted a thread, for whatever reason. But, I think I'd like to try getting back into the game of doing it. Bear with me if there are any technical difficulties.

Without further ado, I bring to you a city not commonly seen on here: Juneau. This incredible little place of 32,000 packs a punch. It's a city where urban meets a vast (mind-blowing if you will) wilderness.

All photos were taken by me in 2012/2013. Hope you enjoyed!

Thanks for these pictures from Juneau and its surroundings. Enjoyed.

Very nice natural scenery. The pics of the three bears is lovely! I´ve never seen pics of Juneau. Beautiful as the whole state of Alaska!

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

Very interesting. Thanks.

A black bear once ran across the highway in front of me, just like that. Except it was in Pennsylvania.

Simply beautiful work of a beautiful city in a beautiful state.

Thank you!

I don't think I've seen a thread on Juneau before. Looks pretty small but interesting.

Small indeed, but the third largest in Alaska. As far as cities here concerned, this one's done right.

Fascinating photos.

That's what I thought too. It's like you could roll down the hill and land on top of a building.

Too cool.

Nice photos! Juneau, and Alaska in general, has interested me for a while. Thanks for posting!

Wow, I'd love to get there some day soon.

Very intriguing town. Never seen much from Alaska. Post some more.

Awesome!! I'd love to live in a city with that level of wilderness right there.

Amazing! I think what's possibly even more amazing is that this is a a state capital that is NOT connected to the rest of the continent by road. How insane is that.

For years now, I've enjoyed much of your (and by your I mean just about everyone who has commented on the thread) photography on here quietly. I'm honored to receive such praise. It means a lot.

Amazing thread!

Standing on the edge of those cliffs would make me shit a brick.

I'd love to visit! Those mountains rising up right from town is so cool! It's more extreme than even Vancouver.
